Re: Secondary email

Dropbox account already connected to secondary email

I want to set up a secondary email address but it says that there's already a Dropbox account connected to that email. Some of my folders on Dropbox are shared to this email - do I have to go through and remove it from these before I can set it up as a secondary email?

Hi @jan01 

No, you need to go to that Dropbox account and delete it.

 

Use www.dropbox.com/forgot to the a password, log on and then delete the account. THEN you can use it as a secondary email.

I'll try that but as far as I know that email I want to use as secondary doesn't have a Dropbox account!
